  • Dry eye is a heterogeneous tear film disorder that results in eye discomfort, visual disturbance, and ocular surface pathology, and remains an unmet need in ocular disease with limited effective therapeutic options available. Dry eye is a major public health concern in an aging population, affecting up to one-third of the global population, including 5 million Americans aged 50 and over. Over-the-counter artificial tears and implantable punctal plugs are frequently used for symptomatic relief. Therapeutic approaches involve reducing ocular surface inflammation or augmenting tear/mucin secretion.

  • CFTR cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator
  • Intestinal fluid secretion involves active Cl - secretion across the enterocyte epithelium through the basolateral membrane Na + / K + / 2Cl - cotransporter (NKCC1) and the luminal membrane cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) Cl - channel and Ca 2+ -activated Cl - channel (CaCC).
  • NKCC1 basolateral membrane Na + / K + / 2Cl - cotransporter
  • CFTR luminal membrane cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator
  • CaCC Ca 2+ -activated Cl - channel
  • CFTR is an attractive target to increase intestinal fluid secretion in constipation as it is robustly expressed throughout the intestine and its activation strongly increases intestinal fluid secretion.
  • An activator targeting CFTR directly is unlikely to produce the massive, uncontrolled intestinal fluid secretion seen in cholera because the enterotoxins in cholera act irreversibly to produce sustained elevation of cytoplasmic cAMP, which not only activates CFTR but also basolateral K + channels, which increase the electrochemical driving force for Cl - secretion; cholera enterotoxins also inhibit the luminal NHE3 Na + /H + exchanger involved in intestinal fluid absorption [10, 11].
  • CFTR act -J027 By high-throughput screening a nanomolar-affinity, small-molecule CFTR activator, CFTR act -J027 was identified and demonstrated to have pro-secretory action in mouse intestine and efficacy in normalizing stool output in a loperamide-induced mouse model of constipation. Constipation remains a significant clinical problem in outpatient and hospitalized settings. Opioid-induced constipation is a common adverse effect in patients after surgery, undergoing chemotherapy and with chronic pain.
  • CFTR-targeted activation adds to the various mechanisms of action of anti-constipation therapeutics. It is notable that pure CFTR activation is able to produce a robust Cl - current and fluid secretion response in the intestine, without causing global elevation of cyclic nucleotide concentration, direct stimulation of intestinal contractility, or alteration of intestinal fluid absorption.
  • Linaclotide a peptide agonist of the guanylate cyclase C receptor that increases intestinal cell cGMP concentration. Linaclotide inhibits activation of colonic sensory neurons and activates motor neurons, which reduces pain and increases intestinal smooth muscle contraction; in addition, elevation in cGMP concentration in enterocytes may activate CFTR and have a pro-secretory action [4, 5].
  • a pure CFTR activator has a single, well-validated mechanism of action and does not produce a global cyclic nucleotide response in multiple cell types.
  • linaclotide and lubiprostone showed limited efficacy in clinical trials. Linaclotide was effective in ⁇ 20% of chronic constipation patients of whom ⁇ 5% also responded to placebo [15], and lubiprostone was effective in ⁇ 13% of IBS-C patients of whom ⁇ 7% responded to placebo [16]. Based on our mouse data showing substantially greater efficacy of CFTR act -J027 compared to supramaximal doses of linaclotide or lubiprostone, we speculate that CFTR activators may have greater efficacy in clinical trials.
  • CFTR act -J027 is more potent for activation of wildtype CFTR than VX-770 (ivacaftor), the FDA-approved drug for treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) caused by certain CFTR gating mutations.
  • VX-770 ivacaftor
  • short-circuit current measurement showed nearly full activation of CFTR by CFTR act -J027 at 3 ⁇ M whereas VX-770 maximally activated CFTR by only 15 %.
  • CFTR act -J027 was substantially less potent than ivacaftor as a 'potentiator' of defective chloride channel gating of the most common CF-causing mutation, ⁇ F508, which is not unexpected, as potentiator efficacy in CF is mutation-specific.

  • quinoxalinones have been reported to inhibit aldose reductase [23].
  • CFTR act -J027 when administered orally at a high dose (10 mg/kg) showed very low bioavailability with blood levels well below the EC 50 for CFTR activation, which may be due to first-pass effect as evidenced its rapid in vitro metabolism in liver microsomes.
  • CFTR act -J027 did not show significant in vitro cytotoxicity at a concentration of 25 ⁇ M, >100-fold greater than its ECso for CFTR activation, or in vivo toxicity in mice in a 7-day study at a maximal efficacious dose that normalized stool output in the loperamide model of constipation.

  • Novel small-molecule activators of wild-type CFTR identified by high-throughput screening as potential topical therapy for dry eye were evaluated to demonstrate efficacy of newly identified CFTR activator(s) in a mouse model of dry eye.
  • Small-molecule CFTR activators were identified by high-throughput screening that produced sustained Cl - -driven aqueous fluid secretion across the ocular surface by a mechanism involving direct CFTR activation rather than upstream cAMP signaling.
  • the rationale to choose compounds that activate CFTR directly was to minimize potential off-target effects of generalized cAMP stimulation and to reduce the likelihood of tachyphylaxis for compounds targeting signaling receptors. These compounds had low-nanomolar EC 50 for activation of human CFTR in vitro and produced full activation at higher concentrations.
  • Large CFTR-dependent PD hyperpolarizations and tear hypersecretion were demonstrated in mice. Substantial compound activities in mice and humans will facilitate translation of data here to humans.
  • CFTR act -K089 restored tear secretion and prevented epithelial disruption in an experimental mouse model of lacrimal insufficiency.
  • CFTR activators may be particularly suited for disorders of the lacrimal gland, such as primary Sjögren's syndrome, by stimulating fluid transport across the intact corneal and conjunctival epithelia.
  • CFTR activators probably exert their major pro-secretory effect at the ocular surface, although there is indirect for CFTR expression and function in lacrimal gland (39-42). Direct stimulation of lacrimal secretion is unlikely in the studies here because of minimal compound penetration to lacrimal tissues following topical delivery, and the demonstrated compound efficacy in a model of lacrimal insufficiency.
  • the conjunctiva probably contributes the bulk of fluid secretion given its much larger surface area compared to cornea (43).
  • VX-770 CFTR activator
  • VX-770 showed relatively little activity against wild-type CFTR in cell cultures and in mice in vivo. Chronic application of VX-770 may also diminish CFTR functional expression (24) and cause cataracts (seen in juvenile rats; ref. 42), which is likely an off-target effect because CFTR is not expressed in lens.

  • An activator targeting CFTR directly is unlikely to produce the massive, uncontrolled intestinal fluid secretion seen in cholera because the enterotoxins in cholera act irreversibly to produce sustained elevation of cytoplasmic cAMP, which not only activates CFTR but also basolateral K + channels, which increase the electrochemical driving force for Cl - secretion; cholera enterotoxins also inhibit the luminal NHE3 Na + /H + exchanger involved in intestinal fluid absorption [10, 11].

  • CFTR-targeted activation adds to the various mechanisms of action of anti-constipation therapeutics. It is notable that pure CFTR activation is able to produce a robust Cl - current and fluid secretion response in the intestine, without causing global elevation of cyclic nucleotide concentration, direct stimulation of intestinal contractility, or alteration of intestinal fluid absorption.
  • Linaclotide a peptide agonist of the guanylate cyclase C receptor that increases intestinal cell cGMP concentration. Linaclotide inhibits activation of colonic sensory neurons and activates motor neurons, which reduces pain and increases intestinal smooth muscle contraction; in addition, elevation in cGMP concentration in enterocytes may activate CFTR and have a pro-secretory action [4, 5].
  • a pure CFTR activator has a single, well-validated mechanism of action and does not produce a global cyclic nucleotide response in multiple cell types.
  • linaclotide and lubiprostone showed limited efficacy in clinical trials. Linaclotide was effective in ⁇ 20% of chronic constipation patients of whom ⁇ 5% also responded to placebo [15], and lubiprostone was effective in ⁇ 13% of IBS-C patients of whom ⁇ 7% responded to placebo [16]. Based on our mouse data showing substantially greater efficacy of CFTR act -J027 compared to supramaximal doses of linaclotide or lubiprostone, we speculate that CFTR activators may have greater efficacy in clinical trials.

  • VX-770 ivacaftor
  • short-circuit current measurement showed nearly full activation of CFTR by CFTR act -J027 at 3 ⁇ M whereas VX-770 maximally activated CFTR by only 15 %.
  • CFTR act -J027 was substantially less potent than ivacaftor as a 'potentiator' of defective chloride channel gating of the most common CF-causing mutation, ⁇ F508, which is not unexpected, as potentiator efficacy in CF is mutation-specific.
  • a small-molecule activator of wildtype CFTR may be useful for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchitis, asthma, cigarette smoke-induced lung dysfunction, dry eye and cholestatic liver disease [17-19].
  • quinoxalinones were reported as selective antagonists of the membrane efflux transporter multiple-drug-resistance protein 1 [20].

  • quinoxalinones have been reported to inhibit aldose reductase [23].
  • CFTR act -J027 when administered orally at a high dose (10 mg/kg) showed very low bioavailability with blood levels well below the EC 50 for CFTR activation, which may be due to first-pass effect as evidenced its rapid in vitro metabolism in liver microsomes.
  • CFTR act -J027 did not show significant in vitro cytotoxicity at a concentration of 25 ⁇ M, >100-fold greater than its EC 50 for CFTR activation, or in vivo toxicity in mice in a 7-day study at a maximal efficacious dose that normalized stool output in the loperamide model of constipation.

  • CFTR activation was also measured under cell-free conditions using the inside-out patch-clamp configuration using large pipette tips in order to obtain macropatches containing multiple CFTR channels.
  • CFTR act -J027 strongly increased CFTR activity ( FIG. 15D ).
  • CFTR act -J027 thus activates CFTR by a direct binding mechanism, which is consistent with prior data showing that CFTR act -J027 does not elevate cellular cAMP concentration (12).
  • CFTR act -J027 efficacy in a scopolamine-induced mouse model of acute constipation We previously showed CFTR act -J027 efficacy in a loperamide-induced mouse model of constipation (12).

  • CFTR act -J027 was not effective when given orally after development of constipation ( FIG. 16C ), which is not unexpected as both scopolamine and loperamide delay gastric emptying and intestinal transit, likely preventing CFTR act -J027 delivery to its site of action.
  • C3H/HeJ mice have a spontaneous mutation in Toll-like receptor 4 gene ( Tlr4 lps-d ), which causes impaired interactions between gut microbiota and enteric neurons resulting in reduced enteric neuronal survival with delayed intestinal transit and decreased stool output (15).

Incubation of 10 ⁇ M CFTR act -J027 in simulated gastric fluid (pH 2) at 37 °C for 3 h showed no compound degradation ( FIG. 18A ). In vitro metabolic stability measurements in human hepatic microsomes revealed rapid compound metabolism (elimination half-life ⁇ 35 min), with only 34% of the compound remaining at 60 min ( FIG. 18B ).

  • CFTR act -J027 increases fluid secretion in enteroids generated from normal human duodenum and jejunum.
  • swelling responses were measured in enteroids generated from normal human duodenum and jejunum.
  • the enteroids comprise a sealed epithelial layer of enterocytes with CFTR expressed at the inner, luminal membrane, in which CFTR activation produces a swelling response over tens of minutes (16, 17).

  • CFTR act -J027 showed efficacy in rodent models of constipation induced by opioid and non-opioid anti-motility agents, as well as in chronically constipated C3H/HeJ mice.
  • Opioid and non-opioid anti-motility agents have been widely used to test laxatives in rodents, as these models are technically simple and informative in short-term studies, and the opioid models have high relevance to OIC in humans. However, they may have limited relevance to human CIC and IBS-C, which are chronic conditions. Genetic models of chronic constipation have more relevance to human CIC and IBS-C due to their chronic phenotype, and do not require pharmacological interventions targeting intestinal motility.

  • CFTR activation by CFTR act -J027 required a low level of phosphorylation, as produced by submaximal forskolin in whole-cell recordings and ATP/catalytic subunit of protein kinase A in inside-out patches, and by a low concentration of forskolin in enteroid swelling measurements. Basal CFTR phosphorylation is required as well for other CFTR activators, including the clinically approved compound VX-770, a potentiator of some mutant CFTRs causing cystic fibrosis (23).
  • CFTR act -J027 compared with lubiprostone or linaclotide in stimulating fluid secretion in mouse intestine, which translated to greater efficacy in increasing stool output and hydration in a scopolamine model of constipation.
  • the greater efficacy of CFTR act -J027 may be due to greater intestinal secretion.
  • Lubiprostone and linaclotide are thought to act largely by inducing intestinal fluid secretion, though by different mechanisms. These compounds activate intestinal secretory pathways indirectly by increasing cellular cyclic nucleotide levels through their actions on prostanoid and guanylate cyclase C receptors, respectively (3, 5).
  • cyclic nucleotide pathways may be responsible in part for the side effects of these drugs.
  • direct-acting CFTR activators have a defined mechanism of action targeting a single prosecretory ion transporter, with less likelihood of side effects due to absence of global cyclic nucleotide elevation (24).
  • targeting CFTR directly rather than upstream receptor or signaling pathways is less likely to induce tachyphylaxis. Whether the greater therapeutic action of CFTR act -J027 compared with lubiprostone or linaclotide seen here in mice will translate to humans must await clinical trial data.
  • CFTR act -J027 or alternative CFTR-targeted activators in constipation in humans.
  • the duration of effect for CFTR act -J027 is at least 3-4 h in mice, suggesting that a once a day administration may be adequate for treatment of constipation in humans.

  • CFTR activators have potential therapeutic indications in constipation, dry eye, cholestatic liver diseases, and inflammatory lung disorders.
  • the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-regulated chloride channel ex- pressed in mammalian epithelia in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive systems, as well as in exocrine glands and other tissues [1]. Loss-of-function mutations in CFTR cause cystic fibrosis, and CFTR over activation causes certain secretory diarrheas including cholera and Travelers' diarrhea [2].
  • CFTR is considered an important drug target, with activators of CFTR of potential benefit for constipation [3,4], dry eye [5], inflammatory lung disorders [6], and cholestatic liver disease; inhibitors of wildtype CFTR may be useful for treatment of certain secretory diarrheas and polycystic kidney disease [7,8]; and correctors and potentiators of mutant CFTRs for treatment of cystic fibrosis [9].
  • phenylquinoxalinone-based CFTR activators motivated by the potential therapeutic utility of phenylquinoxalinone-based CFTR activators in constipation and other diseases, we synthesized 36 analogs of phenylquinoxalinone 4 in order to establish structure-activity relationships and to identify compounds with greater potency. Also, while the rapid hepatic metabolism of 4 results in minimal systemic exposure following oral administration in mice, which is desirable for treatment of constipation, we also sought phenylquinoxalinone CFTR activators with greater metabolic stability for treatment of lung and liver disorders where systemic exposure is necessary.
  • Phenylquinoxalinone 7 was N 1 -alkylated using K 2 CO 3 and R-X in DMF [11] and pure products (1-3) were obtained via column chromatography.
  • Phenylquinoxalinone la was prepared as outlined in Scheme 2.
  • Treatment of methyl 3-fluoro-4-nitrobenzoate (8) with methyl 2-cyanoacetate under basic conditions delivered intermediate 9 [12].
  • Subsequent copper(I) iodide-catalyzed aerobic oxidation [12] delivered methyl 2-oxo-2-phenylacetate 10 and, from here, target la was prepared in parallel to the chemistry employed in Scheme 1. With la in hand, saponification and nitro reduction were accomplished as outlined in Scheme 3 to deliver analogs lb, 1j, and lk.
  • Constrained ring phenylquinoxalinone analogs 16 and 20 were prepared as outlined in Scheme 4. 2-Amino-3-nitrophenol was N- and O-alkylated with 1,2-dibromoethane to deliver intermediate 14 and subsequent nitro reduc-tion and condensation of the resulting diamine with 1-acetyl-5-nitroindoline-2,3-dione led smoothly to analog 16 [13]. Employing 2-bromo-1-phenylethan-1-one in place of 1,2-dibromoethane and 5-nitroindoline-2,3-dione in place of 1-acetyl-5-nitroindoline-2,3-dione delivered analog 20 [14].
  • Bioisosteric compounds containing -COOR replacements of the -NO 2 moiety in the 3-aryl group were synthesized according to Schemes 2 and 3. It was found that carboxylic acid analog 1k was inactive, while methyl ester analog lj was moderately potent. Combining a 2-NO 2 with either a 5-COOMe or a 5-COOH (1a and 1b, respectively) resulted in very low activity. Positional deviation of the nitro group also resulted in reduced activity, as with 2-nitro or 4-nitro analogs 1d and 1e, respectively. Introduction of other functional groups, such as 4-CF 3 or 3-Br, in place of the 3-NO 2 of lc also showed low activity (If and 1g, respectively).
  • Phenyl-ring constrained compounds 22 and 23 were unexpected by-products of the deacylation reaction (see Scheme 4 and Table 6). These compounds are purple and red, respectively - a consequence of their extended aromatic systems - and those colors are different from the bright yellow color of most derivatives of 4. Intramolecular heterocycle formation in this system might have been facilitated by the presence of the electron withdrawing CF 3 group in the quinoxalinone backbone under these acidic deacylation condition. With other substituents in the quinoxalinone backbone, only small amounts of uncharacterized reddish byproduct formed during the deacylation step, suggesting a minimal amount of by-product formation.
  • Phenylquinoxalinone CFTR activators with the highest potency as determined by plate-reader assay, lc and CFTRact-J170 (3j; Table 5), were further characterized. Short-circuit current measurements were done using CFTR-expressing FRT cells in the presence of a transepithelial chloride gradient and with permeabilization of the cell basolateral membrane; consequently, current is a direct, linear measure of CFTR chloride conductance. Representative data in FIG. 22 for lc and 3j shows a small increase in current following addition of a low concentration of forskolin, followed by concentration-dependent increases in current following activator additions. EC 50 values were determined to be 21 and 70 nM for lc and 3j, respectively.
  • lc The CFTR specificity of the most potent compound, lc was further studied. At 10 ⁇ M, lc did not affect the cellular cAMP level ( FIG. 23A ), nor did it elevate cytoplasmic calcium or inhibit the ATP-stimulated elevation in cytoplasmic calcium ( FIG. 23B ). In addition, lc at 10 ⁇ M neither inhibited nor activated calcium-activated chloride channels in HT-29 cells ( FIG. 23C ) or in FRT cells expressing TMEM16A ( FIG. 23D ).
  • Phenylquinoxalinone 4 was shown previously to have minimal oral bioavailability and rapid metabolism [3,4]. Though these properties are favorable for 'topical' applications in the treatment of constipation and dry eye in which systemic exposure is not needed, they are not favorable for treatment of liver and lung diseases where systemic exposure and organ accumulation are desired.
  • FIG. 25 shows substantially slower in vitro hepatic microsomal metabolism oflc compared with 4, with nearly 100% of 4 metabolized at 60 min compared with ⁇ 40% metabolism of lc.
  • phenylquinoxalinones established structure-activity relationships and identified compounds with -10-fold improved potency and greater metabolic stability than reference compound 4.
  • the most potent analog, lc showed CFTR selectivity and efficacy in a mouse model of acute opioid-induced constipation.
